OpenSSL seems to come with a Perl script called CA.pl which actually 
makes creating a CA and signing certs trivial.  Needless to say the 
documentation for this is very poor (there must be some sort of plot by 
the OpenSSL/PKI people to make encryption seem unnecessarily complex) 
but I did find some online documentation for this which unfortunately I 
can't find again.  I'll keep looking ...
